25.IMBALANCE RESOLUTION PROCEDURES (continued)
25.9 Imbalance Netting
For purposes of determining the imbalance quantity that will be subject to resolution
pursuant to Section 25.10, all imbalances within an Operational Impact Area due Cash-
out Party under all of Cash-out Party's contracts for a Month and all imbalances in
that same Operational Impact Area due Algonquin under all of Cash-out Party's contracts
for that same Month shall be summed together to yield a single imbalance for that
Operational Impact Area for the Month, unless otherwise requested in writing by Cash-
out Party. Any imbalance not resolved after Sections 25.7 and 25.8 above have been
utilized will be subject to resolution in accordance with Section 25.10 below.
25.10 Cash-out Provision
Prior to or with the monthly transportation invoice, Algonquin will render each Cash-
out Party a statement detailing the unresolved imbalances. In the second Month after
the imbalances occurred, a bill for the amount due Algonquin or a credit of the amount
due Cash-out Party, as determined below, will be rendered with the monthly
transportation invoice pursuant to Section 18.1 of these General Terms and Conditions.
(a) Determination of Index Price. The Index Price for purposes of resolving
imbalances shall be the average of the index cash out prices for the relevant
Month established for purposes of resolving imbalances by the upstream pipelines
that delivered gas to Algonquin for Customer's account at Customer's Points of
Receipt, such average being weighted on the basis of Customer's receipts. In the
event that none of the upstream facilities operators that delivered gas for
Customer's account has established a cash out price for purposes of resolving
imbalances, the cash out index price established by Texas Eastern Transmission,
LP for deliveries at Lambertville, New Jersey during the Month in question shall
be utilized as the Index Price. The upstream index price utilized in each case
shall be inclusive of any zone, location or transportation charges assessed by
the upstream pipeline in the course of cashing out imbalances on such upstream
facilities that are attributable to points of interconnection with Algonquin's
facilities.
(b) Imbalance Due Algonquin. In the event of an imbalance caused when Cash-out
Party's allocated deliveries as determined in accordance with Section 25.2 exceed
Cash-out Party's allocated receipts as determined in accordance with Section
25.3, less an allowance for fuel determined in accordance with Section 32 of the
General Terms and Conditions, Algonquin shall charge Cash-out Party for such
excess delivery plus an allowance for fuel calculated by multiplying such excess
delivery by the applicable fuel percentage established pursuant to Section 32 of
the General Terms and Conditions. Such charge shall be based on the appropriate
index price for the Month multiplied by one or more of the following factors:
Imbalance Level Factor
Less than or equal to 5% 1.00
Greater than 5% but less
than or equal to 10% 1.10
